Is Ebonics a Derivative of the Southern Accent?

Answer 1

No, the southern accent is derivative of the accents from African languages from west central Africa.

Genteel white southerners learned to speak from listening to their black mammies, the accent crept in over a few generations the poor people mimicked the rich people in the hopes that some of the social status would rub off on them.

Most other American accents come from European languages or accents, the Maine accent seems Scottish to me and the lady from 'Fargo' sounded like a German or Scandinavian language speaker.

Answer 2

ebonics

Also called African-American Vernacular English (AAVE)Black English, Black Vernacular, or Black English Vernacular (BEV). A creole of the American English language. Known colloquially as Ebonics, Ebo, or Jive. With pronunciation that in some respects is common to that of Southern American English, as the majority of the slaves' descendants first lived in the South. Spoken by many people of African descent in the United States and ethnic minorities worldwide. Shares many characteristics with various Creole English dialects spoken by people of African descent in much of the world. NOT simply "bad English", as it has grammatical origins in, and pronunciation characteristics in common with, various West African languages.
NOT the same as urban or hip-hop slang ("izzle's", crack-a-lackin'), although urban slang has been greatly influenced by AAVE
Ebonics has contributed to Standard American English words of African origin ("gumbo", "goober", "yam", "banjo", "bogus") and slang expressions ("cool," "hip," "hep cat").

Answer 3

I'm guessing it's a combo of southern accent, lack of education, and ethnocentricity.
